  3. Great video and clever mix the old stuff with new stuff. The new character is a black widow kind of agent that hunt who knows about the Samaritan, cool. Shaw and Root new jobs, hilarious. I like Reese talking to Finch about fight back.

  5. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!! YES!! YES!!! YES!!!!!! This is looking amazing.

    *forgive my exaggerated exuberance, but damn!!! do I love this show too much*

    ReplyDelete
  6. Yes. Guess this'll shut up the douches who claim that she was brought on board to be a younger Zoe clone :)

  7. Greer sighting already? COOL!
    The whole promo was just unadulterated awesome...

    Carl Elias is back? and Reese prepare himself by showing that stolen nypd badge ha!

    ReplyDelete
  9. So this is the beginning of the end for the show.

    ReplyDelete
  10. "...6 if you count the dog." Of course you count Bear!!!!:D

  11. Was hoping that Elias and his devoted henchman would be back. This coming season should be very innovative - love how this show proves that American TV is not brain dead. And gives us intelligence with humor and heartbreak.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Woooooooow! THIS LOOKS GREAT!

    ReplyDelete
  13. This is why Person of Interest is the best show on television. Man, I knew things would be changing up a gear come September, but that was out of this world! The grin on my face is massive right now!

    ReplyDelete
  14. You & me both, Jimmy.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Yes, and seemingly negates my earlier assumption too, that she will be in association with Elias. Well, it's not a shame if the PoI writers outsmart me :)

    ReplyDelete
  16. No, I think it's a general mistake since S3. Root ISN'T a good guy. She serves the Machine and only the Machine. At this stage it means she has to work with and help our good guys, but it has nothing to do with them either as persons or as their ideas.


    If protecting the Machine and accomplish its goals would require to report their whereabouts or present identities to the Samaritan, she would do it in a whim and without any (or only with a very little) regret.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Damn straight we count the dog! Bear needs more assignments!

    ReplyDelete
  18. wow..... that was awesome! I do wonder if the show was written with an end date in mind as it seems that the show has progressed to an omega villain/adversary with Samaritan/Decima, and am curious if the writers have something planned beyond that... I for one can't wait to see what is coming....

    ReplyDelete
  19. Looks great. Person of Interest is one of the best show on television.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Whoa! This is gonna be awesome! So...how many cars get destroyed this season? Lots!

    ReplyDelete
  21. Frederick Weller? Just when you thought this show couldn't get any better.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I think that's not accurate. What I mean is the idea clearly is that our Machine has mostly been a force of good, so by extension, Root following it, is still following it with "good" intentions. If something happens the machine, -if it gets tricked or hacked, anyone of our characters could potentially betray the initial cause, but that doesn't mean that it's any of their faults. Root and Finch each know the machine well and each have a unique relationship with it, so I don't think it would like Root selling everyone out, it would be the machine selling everyone out...

    ReplyDelete
  23. Me too! I don't get some of the dislike! I think change is good thing and this was really excellent promo!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Shut up re mastouromene . Theleis na τρολαρουμε na mas petaxoun exo gia σπαμ ?

  25. Hahahaha! Good thing this show hasn't gone all Knight Rider, or we might feel really bad about all those cars!!!

    ReplyDelete
  26. everyoneissleeping27 July 2014 at 14:35

    So I guess that means that she's working for... Control? Since, if I recall correctly, she was not supposed to be with Decima.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Unless there is a new villain....

    ReplyDelete
  28. everyoneissleeping27 July 2014 at 14:39

    Yes, there is also that option... I'm hoping for some replacement for Hersh, I guess.

    ReplyDelete
  29. But you're right it could easily be a Control replacement. Whatever it is, I liked the introduction in this promo! :D

    ReplyDelete
  30. Well Plegman said that she is not with Decima . A new ally perhaps ? But why she did this ? She is a genuine bad-ass though .

    ReplyDelete
  31. everyoneissleeping27 July 2014 at 14:48

    Me too! :-) But what a poor guy... to figure out the Great Secret and then go to start telling people about it Yeah, I'm sure that the powerful entity you've just described won't notice. Oops.

    ReplyDelete
  32. everyoneissleeping27 July 2014 at 14:51

    The government with its agencies are temporarily working with Decima, and we know what they did every time someone figured out that there was a machine supplying the government with intel, which is why I'm thinking it could be them again. Only this time they're protecting Samaritan.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Hehe! Didn't the promo remind you of S1 with all the cars getting blown up,shot,careening into one another? Annyyway... such a cool promo,i think we're in for a great season!!

    ReplyDelete
  34. I thought it looked pretty exciting! :D

    ReplyDelete
  35. Yep,that's her. Whenever i see her all i think of is her recurring role in Law & Order Criminal Intent...she played a crazy devious bitch!

    ReplyDelete
  36. I wish she was a freelancer who is gonna become an ally for Team Machine

    ReplyDelete
  37. The devious bitch thing i bet it won't change

    ReplyDelete
  38. Ha,i think you're right!

    ReplyDelete
  39. It's not the character what is a mistake - sorry if my comment was not clear -, it's the perception from some of the audience that Root became a "good guy" just because now she helps the Team Machine.


    IMHO she remained the same immoral one what she was, but now she had a purpose (to serve the machine), which makes her "override" her natural reactions. Like when in "Root Path" she complained to Finch that she is constantly told by the Machine to save Cyrus, and she sees it as a flaw (like Finch "has broken down" it), that the Machine cares. She serves the Machine DESPITE its care about the irrelevants, not BECAUSE of it. I agree with you that if she does anything against the Team it will be because the Machine tells it and not on her own decision - but she wouldn't have any remorse or regret about it.

    Mind you, it doesn't mean that I'm among the Root haters, just the opposite, I love her condradictional character very much. I just wanted to point out that doing good deeds doesn't necessary make somebody a "good guy" in the traditional sense.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Thanks for your explanation. I still disagree, simply because the machine (at least Harold's wheel of it) is meant for the greater good, and by following it, she also follows the greater good. All of the characters have "shady" pasts IMO, with Reese, Shaw, and Root being deadly assassins (immoral) all "blindly" following orders, all up until a point...


    I think because of Amy Acker's often celebratory and pseudo-nonchalant personality, her juxtaposing role in Alias where she is purely evil, and because she isn't introduced into the series as a hero or ant-hero first, but more of a villain, --one that threatens Finch, gives her a harder likability with some of viewers, but I think during all of season 3 she has pulled her weight and proved to the audience that she is human and that she is loyal to at least team machine, being what the machine wants...


    I'm in no way saying she's perfect or without flaws, but none of them are. Harold (and Nathan) created a machine that would inevitably be misused by someone, but it was also inevitable that this technology would exist one way or anther....One of my favorite episodes was when she was confronting the plausibility of metaphysics, because just the capacity to question her beliefs, shows that she isn't completely zealot. Her experiences are changing her....

    ReplyDelete
  41. A question for DarthLocke4 -- at first I was not sure if the man in the bar talking to the new character was one of the 3 computer geniuses that helped Root make the crucial adjustment to Samaritan and then when Cara Buono said there were two more who would die in minutes I thought uh-oh... but how could that be because those three guys were included in the cloaking device that Root installed ? Or are those three not Root's helpers ?

    ReplyDelete
  42. If Reese is now a cop, I wonder where they need Fusco anymore?

    ReplyDelete
  43. It's hard for me to tell, somebody else may know better than I, but he does look like he could be one of the hackers to me...If so, then it would appear that Cara Buono's character was able to break down Root's defenses (which should scare us all!)...

    The only other way this could work out would be if those hackers were not the real hackers to begin with, but decoys and or if this guy isn't one of them and is a decoy...

    Here are screencaps of those hackers...

    ReplyDelete
  44. Thank you so much for taking the time to reply AND post the photo. It is scary because if it is those three who were exposed then our merry little gang is not cloaked either. The fact that the number eliminated was three could not be coincidental. Thanks again.

    ReplyDelete
  45. BEST SHOW EVER !!! sorry for shouting out of excitement :)

    ReplyDelete
  46. I have no bias against Amy Acker from before as I haven't seen her in Alias.


    I think the difference between us is that to me "being good" is a conscious choice. Shaw or Reese were order following assassins but they had made their own choice when they decided to help the Team and do that choice again and again when they are in a confronting situation. Root's "enlightening" IMHO was not a conscious choice, it was kind of a result of a revelation. It hit her like a freight train, she couldn't "escape" from it.


    I don't rule out that later in the story she can change (though honestly I don't wish it, it's too hollywoodish) and decide to care about the other even in cases when it's not required by the machine, but at this moment IMHO when she is "good" it happens only because the Machine orders her to act this way - to me it is not the same level as the deeds of the others.

    “You think I don't care about people, Harold? I'm doing all
    of this to save you.” – Root in “Root Path”

    ReplyDelete
  48. Elias is back! And "six if you count the dog"! Yes, DO count the dog! Oh, I can't wait!

    ReplyDelete
  49. Yes, I remember, but it was not because Harold (or anybody else) is important to her. He was important to the Machine, so she did her best to do what her God requested. Harold as a valuable asset of the Machine was important to her, not Harold Finch, the human. She acknowledge his talent and his devotion to his cause, but his cause (the doing good) isn't her cause. IMHO her original concept about humans being only bad codes hasn't changed yet - only serving the Machine is more important to her.

    ReplyDelete
  50. everyoneissleeping27 July 2014 at 20:25

    Well, not exactly... The reason why I brought up this quote is that it was part of the conversation in which Root said that she wanted to do something else than what the Machine wanted her to do. For Root the priority was to stop Samaritan and save Finch, but the Machine told her to save Cyrus instead, despite the fact that it would possibly cost more people their lives. I'm not sure how much she actually cares about the people she's been working with myself, but I think you're selling her short when you say that they are nothing but valuable assets to her.

    ReplyDelete
  51. They could partner up.

    ReplyDelete
  52. SHIELDNCISArrowfan27 July 2014 at 20:31

    I am pretty sure Reese is not a cop.......it probably that stolen nypd badge he been using as Det Stillies

    ReplyDelete
  53. The funniest quote of the trailer !

    ReplyDelete
  54. That's definitely not one of Root's hackers. That's Fred Weller from In Plain Sight, a guest star. Root's boys are hidden.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Not to her, to the Machine. She wanted to save Harold, because she thought he is more important (because he could help to stop the Samaritan and this way protecting her God), than an irrelavant.


    Plus liking somebody or caring about somebody are two different things. I'm sure eg. that she likes Shaw - she amuses her, she enjoys poking her, I dare to say she likes to work with her. I can imagine that (at this point of the story) if she would need to let her down to accomplish the Machine's task, she would be a little sad and would miss the fun later. It doesn't mean she would do anything for Shaw on her own accord, unrelated to the Machine.


    I think she exactly considers the other people as more or less valuable assets. If you have a high quality and expensive tool which is hard to replace, you try to protect it, don't throw it carelessly and if it brokes down for some reason you may feel it as a loss - but it doesn't make you a good guy, just a careful one.

    ReplyDelete
  56. I just didn't no if they had to recast them or not...

    ReplyDelete
  57. True, but Root made a choice too by dedicating her adult life to the machine, and clearly the machine considers her a much needed asset, despite her whatever personality quirks she has. Shaw it's the same deal, except that she has an opposite personality that instead of being celebratory, is instead disgruntle. That's why they're an enjoyable pair.


    I think it just depends on how any viewer perceive the machine, because that is the thing our main characters are serving. In an earlier episode, we saw that it could go out of it's way to "please" Finch, but Finch told it never to do it again...it's been debatable ever since, if it's just doing it's initial job, or if it's also going out of it's way to try and save the characters too...


    Root is more like the machine, than any of the characters in terms of how one thinks a machine deems reality. It just depends if one believes that despite mechanical function, if a machine can have a soul, spirit, and personality where it makes "choices", because it cares to....We know Root is a human (at least we think we know) despite her lack of proper social responses, but that doesn't mean there isn't anything behind her motivation and dedication...we know suffered a great lost and makes her just as broken as the others in Team Machine.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Oh, you don't need to defend Root, I like her in the way she is. I mean I probably wouldn't like her IRL, but in the show I think she is a great addition to the story. I don't mind the least that she isn't a clear cut hero or villain.


    IMHO most of the negative reactions about her (dismissing the Amy Acker haters and the "why don't they just keep the original 2+2" cries) came right from the unusual complexity of the character. I love the show because of this, but to many viewers it came as if they "should" love her, because now she is "good". And in the usually black-and-white world of the network procedurals she simply didn't fit into the "good guy" place after what she had done in the first two seasons.

    ReplyDelete
  59. I disagree. Root is a good guy and has shown that she has changed. Countless times at the end of the season she has said tha she cares about Harold in particular and it wasn't just about doing The Machines bidding.

    ReplyDelete
  60. Oh, I'm sorry I misinterpreted!!! I never said she was necessarily a good character to start out with. She starts a show very much as an antagonist and works her way to anti-hero, where I think she has been working on the side of good (because I feel so far that our machine is generally good/was designed to with good intentions in mind) IMO :)


    For me an anti-hero is a character that has some rather questionable morality, but is or ends up working on behalf of something generally perceived as good or a character that is coming from a place of tragedy that is understandable. She isn't a cookie-cuter hero, simply because her personality type makes her socially lack what the stereo-typical hero qualities are. She tends to lack sentiment or remorse, at least in terms of her emotional responses. That's why I think she's not that much different from Shaw, except that her more whimsical traits, just tend to irritate and not seem compassionate, but then again Shaw eats like a wild animal and also sometimes lacks showing remorse.


    I would agree with anyone who said her true allegiances may remain to be seen, but I think that's true of not just her, but other characters too and even the future of our machine...

    ReplyDelete
  61. She was also in Mad Men and actually played one of the few more well-balanced, or maybe a better word is well-rounded characters in the series. She could be a little cold or sharp at times, but in all honesty, Don totally screwed her over big time in the end! :D

    ReplyDelete
  62. I only remember Carla Buono being on Law and Order CI once. Did you mean the Nicole Wallace ( Bobby Goren's worst nightmare over several years) character played by Olivia d'Obo ? Or maybe I am confused.

    ReplyDelete
  63. Yep,your right! I was thinking of Olivia d'Obo,and she sure was Goren's nightmare,thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  64. I had the wrong person i was thinking it was her but it was Olivia d'Obo that played the crazy,murderous B!

    ReplyDelete
  65. Nicole Wallace was a horror ( and a great villain) but it was a shame they had her demise off screen at the hands of Goren's former mentor. I would have liked to have seen that but I guess they cost-cut that storyline and just had the mentor tell Goren about it.

    ReplyDelete
  66. The hackers are loyal to Root. That means no talking to anyone outside of their group about either Samaritan or the Machine. I am certain Weller plays another character.

    ReplyDelete
  67. I think Root and Shaw are the most complex characters on the show. Root is definitely the type of character that should be explored more.

    ReplyDelete
  68. Well her God most likely didn't put those "exact" words in her mouth, now if she means them could be another story...


    Her cause is his cause because they BOTH follow and have a relationship with the machine! it's just Harold shows more skepticism in terms of the machine trusting Root, but in all honesty, Harold may not have the stomach for what it may take for the machine to do it's job(s), as we are seeing the consequences of not killing what's his face, when the machine explicitly asks them to! It's the machine that is multitasking and using all of it's resources "simultaneously" to do get it's job(s) done...It just depends on where the line is drawn for anyone who believes in protecting the many over the few and/or serving what could be perceived as a greater good...

    ReplyDelete
  69. This looks amazing. I can't wait for season 4.

    ReplyDelete
  70. I don't feel like I know the hackers well enough to know just how loyal they are and/or if they understand the threat on their lives, but I do hope that this was a decoy or pertians to something else, but you would think a decoy wouldn't be that stupid either, unless he seriously doesn't know he's a decoy! XD

    ReplyDelete
  71. Looks Epic. Can't wait!
